That's your spin on it. But, if so (and I don't believe it for a second), then Leahy uses stupid, misleading and irresponsible metaphors when he should be talking straight facts.
BTW, do you know what a metaphor is? Why don't you explain to us how saying two people were killed by touching an envelope is a metaphor for saying they were killed by breathing in spores?
Would you say anthrax has touched your life?
